Specific Company Container

ABSTRACT

The scope of this invention was to create a container that could endure extreme hot temperatures when heated by microwave and endure extreme cold temperatures without cracking when shipped with dry ice. In addition, the container was ergonomically designed to encompass a snug fit to keep the food contained, but the top is easily detached even if the individual does not have full use of their hands. The container is multipurpose. There was not a container on the market that met these criteria, so extensive time was expended to design such a container to fit the needs of the company.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a multipurpose, specific company container(Tray and Lid) that holds two cavities, with volumes of 48.5 fluidinches (26.5 US fluid ounces) and 29.0 fluid inches (16.0 US fluidounces). Container is constructed from natural polypropylene and is foodgrade.
